AWAKENING FROM IVY LEAGUE CLASSROOMS TO WAR-TORN BATTLEFIELDS: ONE MAN'S JOURNEY TO TRUTH...AND LOVE What happens when academia's theories collide with war's harsh realities? James Miller is about to find out. Fed up with the safe, sanitized debates in his Yale Political Science classes, James makes a decision that will forever alter his life's trajectory: volunteering in Ukraine's brutal war zone. But when artillery fire claims his team leader and leaves James clinging to life in a German military hospital, his real journey begins. His unexpected connection with Brigitta-, a nurse whose East German upbringing gives her a radically different worldview, challenges everything he thought he knew about freedom, politics, and truth itself. "Awakening" takes readers on a heart-pounding journey across worlds that seem impossibly divided: from Yale's ivory towers to Ukraine's shattered villages, from humanitarian missions riddled with corruption to the possibility of love in Berlin's thoughtful embrace. Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Things They Carried, and especially, A Farewell to Arms, will be captivated by this unflinching exploration of how we navigate life's gray areas when black-and-white thinking fails us. And how love can blossom in the most unlikely of places. This unforgettable debut asks: Can understanding only come when we stand in the uncomfortable spaces between competing truths? "Awakening is an intense and touching novel that takes us from the prestigious halls of Yale to the battlefields of Ukraine, following James Miller's inner journey in search of truth. Wounded in war, he finds himself in a military hospital in Germany, where the encounter with Brigitta, a nurse with a deep soul and a different worldview, forces him to question everything he believed in. A powerful and human story that courageously explores the gray areas between ideals and reality. A must-read if you love stories that leave their mark." -- Francesca F (on Amazon in Italy)
